Chapter 952 Zhou Yuan Against Yuan Kun (1/2)

He wanted to weigh whether or not the Tianyuan Region’s chief pavilion master was qualified to talk to him.

Zhou Yuan's mind raced, but he didn’t reveal a ripple of emotion. He said calmly, “If you want, I can accompany you.”

He had told Yi Qiushui before that he wasn't afraid of running into anyone else other than the top four on the Divine Dwelling List. He didn’t just say that as a bluff—he was confident in his strength.

And in truth, he craved to test out the strength of the top eight heaven prides of the other eight regions.

Although Yuan Kun was ranked eighth, his strength shouldn’t be underestimated, and he was the best test subject.

“Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan is indeed courageous. I just hope your strength won’t disappoint me.”

Boom!

As his voice faded, mighty Genesis Qi shot into the sky, blotting out the sun and lighting up the void with countless Genesis Qi stars. There were at least 45 million!

“A foundation of 45 million Genesis Qi stars...”

Zhou Yuan froze for a moment. After connecting the eighth Divine Dwelling, his Genesis Qi foundation had reached the level of 38 million. It was because of this that he was able to utterly crush Lu Hai, Zhao Yuanxiao and the others when he had faced them.

And now, he finally met an even stronger opponent.

Is this the foundation of a heaven pride from the other eight regions? It is indeed astonishing.

Zhou Yuan didn’t utter a word, but his body shook and erupted with Genesis Qi. Thirty-eight million Genesis Qi stars illuminated the void.

But this wasn’t the end. He once again activated the four Genesis Runes as well as the second form of the Four Spirits Origin Diagram.

The number of Genesis Qi stars skyrocketed, reaching 58 million!

Such powerful Genesis Qi whizzed across the void, drawing gasps and exclamations from the Yushou Region’s team. A serious and terrified look even crossed some people’s faces. It was obvious that Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi had exceeded their expectations.

Yuan Kun smiled. “I knew that chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan had to have some ability since he dared to confront Xu Ming.”

Zhou Yuan’s foundation was already at the level of 38 million when he had opened up the eighth Divine Dwelling, and after external means, his foundation soared to a terrifying level of 58 million. As someone with the experience, Yuan Kun knew well that one’s foundation would increase most terrifyingly when one connected the ninth Divine Dwelling.

Once Zhou Yuan reached that point, his Genesis Qi foundation would be comparable to that of the top four heaven prides.

Perhaps Xu Ming hated Zhou Yuan because of jealousy.

Those light runes were like beast runes, and every time one appeared, he steadily erupted with more Genesis Qi pressure as Genesis Qi stars soared into the void behind him.

At the end of the increase, Yuan Kun was glowing with beast runes all over his body and was exuding an extremely fierce aura.

His Genesis Qi stars had soared by 16 million!

And it had reached the level of 61 million!

A Genesis Qi foundation of that level caused the wind to howl and roar and the mountains to tremble incessantly.

Yuan Kun laughed, “This is a secret technique of my Yushou Region. It’s called the Million Beast Rune...but I still can't be compared to chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, who is able to develop the four Genesis Runes of the Tianyuan Region into its second form.”

The second form of the four Genesis Runes was regarded as one of the nine regions’ top-secret techniques for increasing Genesis Qi.

Yuan Kun flicked his sleeve, sending mighty Genesis Qi roaring as the qi transformed into dozens of torrents in the void. Within the void were shadows of giant beasts, each exuding terrifying ferocity.

Roar!

Yuan Kun spoke politely, but his attack was merciless. His Genesis Qi was filled with murderous intent, and torrents of it charged toward Zhou Yuan like beasts.

A fierce roar resounded throughout the world.

Zhou Yuan’s expression turned solemn. Besides his encounter with Zhao Mushen, this was the first time he truly faced one of the top heaven prides of the other eight regions. He knew he couldn’t underestimate him.

He lifted his hand, and a sword pill rose into the air.

Fifty-eight million Genesis Qi stars flickered.

Om!

A sword cry filled the sky, and then a bright dazzling sword light streaked across the sky like a comet, slashing towards the torrents of beast Genesis Qi.

Bang!

The clash between the two sides in the void could be described as earthshaking, and the terrifying shock waves that followed flattened numerous mountains and tore deep cracks into the forest.

This was a collision of pure Genesis Qi.

The sword light was piercingly sharp, and it directly slashed the torrent of beast Genesis Qi to pieces. But this only created more torrents, which then attacked him.

As the torrents of ferocious beasts grew more and more violent, the sword light seemed unable to withstand them anymore and began to retreat.

A moment later, torrents of ferocious beasts swooped down to tear Zhou Yuan to shreds.

Chi.

But as they dived down, Zhou Yuan's figure turned into a shadow and vanished from the world.

The flood of fierce beast torrents had failed.

Yuan Kun narrowed his eyes, seeing Zhou Yuan’s bizarre movement-type technique, but he didn’t panic. He swiftly folded his hands together, and his eyes gradually changed, turning sharp and fierce like those of a hawk.
